2010-06-06T10:57:00.002+08:00

I realized that I have not blogged for a very long time. So I guess I will be putting everything in bullet form to summarize it.

Maybe let's start from around April before my exams started...

1. Completed Jaume Torres's 100 levels of liposome quiz. A lot of calculations at the later levels which was tedious but can be done using excel.

2. For tuttiquanti, I managed to hit level 30 but I realized that you need to get at least 40% of quiz in order to enjoy the reward of 50% score in the overall CA marks.

3. Jang Geum Suk came to Singapore while I was at NTU, going through the virology past year papers with Jie Yun and Mei Hui.

4. I am disappointed with mastering comm's resume results.

5. I got a B grade for my resume.

6. I got a B minus for the case study assignment from mastering comm.

7. Although oral results not released, I can tell that I have done badly. But I don't care.

8. Jie Yun sent an SMS to me on that night asking me whether I think I have done badly for my oral. Jie Yun was really stressed about the oral results. But I replyed her not to think about it anymore.

9. This semester, most of the modules that I have taken are on MCQ except for bioinformatics which may a bit of written work to be done.

10. Lynn sent us some notebooks from Korea.

11. Biophysics paper was really difficult to do.

12. Not enough time to complete the biophysics paper. I have given up for most of the 3 marks MCQ. I just randomly fill in the answers.

14. Li Jiming's questions were rather predictable.

15. After Bioinformatics paper, we went to the toilet located near the swimming pool and this was really my first time seeing a swimming pool.

15. Biochemistry paper was also okay as we were prepared for the MCQ questions.

16. Immunology paper was the most unexpected of all my modules.

17. Immunology paper was more difficult than the CA paper.

18. KLaus's questions on interpreting the FACS plot was really difficult to me.

19. B cell questions are also difficult as well.

20. Virology paper was rather straight forward.

21. Virology paper is the only paper that I have left early.

22. After I have finished my exams, the only module that I am really worried about is biophysics only.

23. I have watch You're Beautiful during my exams.

24. I really want the pig rabbit from the drama.

25. Junsu and his brother, Zuno came to Singapore during my exam period.

26. Lina came back with a sore throat after Zuno's showcase.

27. I feel sad after finished watching You're Beautiful. So I decided to watch again.

28. I bought the ipod touch recently.

29. ipod touch was really funny to use, very cool.

30. I have put in You're Beautiful into my ipod touch.

31. We have celebrated Mothers' Day over at Grandmother's house.

32. Yan Xia was not able to attend the celebration because she was at Japan for holiday.

33. After Mothers' Day celebration, Peh Ching, Lina and I went to Suntec.

34. We took the Circle line MRT to Suntec.

37. Strawberry Shortcake from Four Leaves was really very nice.

38. I have cut my hair.

39. This is the shortest hair I ever had since primary one.

40. Later RTC part-timers and I will be celebrating birthdays for Affiq, Michelle and Tang En.

41. My results released recently.

42. I got A minus for my Bichemistry.

43. A minus for Virology.

45. B minus for Immunology.

46. C plus for Biophysics.

47. I am glad that Biophysics passed.

48. No more Jaume Torres.

49. No more Biophysics.

50. YEA!!!

I guess this is the amount of things I have recorded down for myself.
Sayonara...

Something interesting!!!

2010-04-22T09:54:00.001+08:00

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand.
---
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from?
Student : From...GOD...
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil?
(Student did not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe The World around you. Tell me, son...have you ever feen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't...
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something.
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light...
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life, just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from
a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
argument was going)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The Class was in uproar)
Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The Class broke out into laughter)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?... No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The Room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir...Exactly!
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
That student was ALBERT EINSTEIN.

Presentation, Tutti Quanti

2010-04-09T12:33:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, I was focusing on tutti quanti instead of rehearsing for my speech for today's presentation. I spent 6 hours, from 2pm till 8pm to reach level 20. I was really happy. After that, I happily watch TV and did not practice my speech again.

Another happy thing was that while I was doing tutti quanti, my sister passed me a package that was sent from Korea. Lynn has sent us some notebooks and she wrote a letter that addressed all the 5 of us. I missed her a lot. I informed her over the msn that I have received the package already in case she thought the package was lost along its way to Singapore.

This morning, I woke up early just to revise again my speech. We were the first group to present. But, there was one problem, i.e. we do not know how to set up the vcr thing. Huang Peng, Lynn's friend, together with another 2 classmates helped us set up the thing.

During presentation, I was very nervous. Because I was holding onto the cue cards, I have higher tendency of keeping looking at the cards instead to maintain eye contact with audience.

The second group was a group of Indonesians and Philippinoes who loves to role play. Especially the last speaker, the way the last sentence was said sounds like a news announcer. He said ' Thank you and have a good day!' That was rather funny. My friend nearly laughed out.

At the end of all the presentations, every group gets to take a look at the feedback that the tutor has written. So I have a lot of ticks for improvement and only a couple ticks for good. Jie Yun also gotten almost the same results as mine. But I don't really care much.

But, Jie Yun actually sms me at night, asking me whether we did badly for our presentation. I realized that she really worried about her grades for that module. She was afraid that the presentation score might the entire thing down. I can tell that she really care about it. But there is nothing I can do other than getting her to focus on other things like BS209 biochemistry report and liposome quiz.

A B'day Party

2010-04-02T21:35:00.002+08:00

Just came back from the party and I have mixed feelings about. So...the birthday girl is from my JC, we are really very close but not in contact often. I was really surprised to receive her invitation and immediately decided to attend her party. But I have foreseen that it will be an awkward situation with her relatives and her university friends around as well. Because I was her only JC friend to attend her party.

Most of my JC classmates did not attend her birthday party, last minute said not coming. So I was the loner without any friend to accompany. Shean tying was really nice to accompany me. Heng Qian, the limelight for today, has to play her hostess role well. So we dun really have time to catch up. When I was alone, I distract with the food I have taken.

I met Bee Yan and her boyfriend as well. Bee Yan is also my JC classmate. She changed a bit, I guess. But we did not talk.

After I have felt that I have stayed long enough, I informed Heng Qian and Shean tying that I need to leave.

Many weird feelings after I have left that place. Not enjoyable but I at least get to see my good friend, totally unchanged and happy. So, I was really happy for her.

Lynn flying off to Korea

2010-02-21T22:29:00.002+08:00

Yesterday Lynn fly off from Changi Terminal 3. She took the Singapore Airline plane. A lot of her friends sent her off. We were all happily sending her off, no sad scenes, no crying scenes. But I will missed her since she will be going for around 5 months. I guess she was really happy yesterday and I am glad too. She brought along the photo that Jie Yun has given her. She also really that there was a message from Jie Yun at the back of the photo. All of us knew already except for Mei Hui but I wonder she will open the frame to see the message as she claims that she will accidentally spoil the frame if she tries to remove the photo.

We did not really get to talk to Lynn much but we have taken some pictures with a lot of passengers and their families and friends walking here and there. We feedback her on our Biophysics quiz which was happened on the Thursday. The quiz was really screwed.

I reached home around 12 30 and there is work on the next morning. Really tiring.

MRT Trip to Jurong East and Percy Jackson

2010-02-19T21:55:00.003+08:00

A rather rare occasion to see Serene and both of us are taking the train towards Jurong East. I was the first to notice and called her. We sat down and talked about the recent happenings. It was so long ever since we gathered for Ting Shu's birthday, which was like two years ago.

We were chatting about our JC classmates and stuff. She told me about Valarie, who was studying in a private university. The two of them still in contact, I guess. Vimala, my project work group leader is currently at Singapore Polytechnic, same as Serene. We were also talking Heng Qian and Li Ren no longer together but not too sure of the reason.

Very soon, we parted at Jurong East. I went to board the train toward Joo Koon to submit my Bioinformatics report before meeting Peh Ching at north Point to shop for formal outfits. Lina got the movie tickets at AMK Hub for Percy Jackson.

The movie was really very good and the effects are really good, very similar to Harry Potter 1 and 2 given that it was from the same director. But, the effects can only be seen clearly in movie theatre plus the good sound system. Really worth the money to watch it in the cinema for at least once.

Story is edited a bit so it does not really follow the book. The furies and enemies following Percy Jackson and his friends are really very scary. But the part with Medusa was really very funny.

The movie is really a must watch movie. Maybe I might want to watch it again.

Recent happenings!!!

2010-01-17T10:51:00.002+08:00

Just started school last week. Seeing new professors and some with very weird accents like the Italian professor with a German accent. Timetable is really sucks!!! Almost every single day I ended up going home late because of lectures ended at 5.30pm. My friend and I have to deal with the peak hours at Jurong East MRT Station. Lynn is going to Korea University this year March and I knew she is really excited and elated about it. I am envious about it because the results over there is not calculated into GPA.

This semester I will be taking a module which I hated the most - Biophysics. Although it deals with mostly calculations, but I am really bad with physics related topics. Immunology is equally as bad because the lecturer talks fast and I can't make out what she was trying to say at the other time. Advanced biochemistry was very dry was the very first lecture. Bioinformatics and virology were okay for the time being. Matering comm module was okay as well but there are about 1000 students taking this module at the same time. So we are using the largest LT of NTU for our lectures.

Last Thursday I was working after my mastering comm lecture. Very tiring after schooling. I was dozing off on the bus traveling toward RTC. Met Kanna on the way as well because he board the bus at Kranji. Thursday night was not very busy. But there are 2 set menus that I need to memorize because these were new things to me. No buffet for that night due to the small crowd coming in. SCDF people coming in at around 5 plus. 22 pax coming at around 8 plus to celebrate birthday. 10 pax coming in at around 7.30 to celebrate birthday as well. Luckily it was busy especially with Ann around. Shan doing cashier that day - special shift - he was very blur that day. He made 2 mistakes with my orders. First mistake: He keyed no spicy instead of no satay for the nasi goreng order and he trying to smoke his way out by blamming for my handwriting. Second mistake: Sirloin steak medium well he keyed well done. And he got nagged by me and scolded by Kanna. Uncle See made some Avocado blended with ice-cream and milk for me and Doris before I left cafe at 10pm. Very nice and refreshing drink and it was not very sweet.

As for Friday afternoon, I went out by myself to 313 to shop at Forever 21. Met Lynn and her mom there as well. I have gotten myself a $40 jacket and a long sleeve shirt. Then I went to RTC to collect my salary. At night, went shopping at Bugis with Peh Ching and Lina.

For the entire Saturday, the 3 of us went to East Coast to support Wendy because of the Ngee Ann Poly's bazaar. But we got lost for about 45mins before we reach there. I have gotten something from Wendy's booth and Lina has gotten the biggest cinnamonroll as her late b'day gift from Peh Ching and Wendy. After having our dinner at the coffee shop at Marine Parade, we took a bus to Somerset. We met Michelle and her friend at 313. She was on her way back home after the make-up thing. Afer that we proceed to 313 and spent like 2-3hrs over at forever 21. I was helping Peh Ching to find CNY dress. The 3 of us did manage to get something from forever 21. After that, we went to New Look. We tried the shoes over there. I kind of this pair of boots and it was around $54. It really looked nice but I did not get it yesterday. Peh Ching was onto the 4 inches heels which really looked got on her and she really can walked comfortably with heels. Lina was onto the low cut boots but those shoes she has tried were really more expensive than the one that I was onto. She planned to go to other places to look for her ideal shoes.

So, this were just what happened to me for the past one week and I have yet to complete my tutorials and textbook reading!!!

Shopping + New Moon

2009-12-04T10:28:00.002+08:00

I got myself a pair of new shoes and Peh Ching got two shirts yesterday at North Point after gotten three movie tickets for new moon. While the two of us were happily shopping, poor Lina still at NYP doing her FYP. It is a pity that Wendy cannot joined us for a movie date coz the three of us never get the chance to watch a movie with Wendy.

This is the pic of my shoes that I have gotten at North Point:

North Point has changed a lot. It is bigger just like Jurong Point as well. But there are still some shops not ready yet. There are a lot of restaurants and eatery shops around as well. I only got to know that Yishun NLB shifted to North Point. After walking for two hours, both of us went to the library to grab some books and find a place to sit down. We were talking about Japanese since Peh Ching is going to take her oral soon.

Then, we went for an early dinner. The Indian food from the food court is very nice. After dinner, we stayed around at the food court to talk about school stuff until nearly 6pm when we went to get tidbits from cold storage.

We met Lina at GV and Peh Ching was like pestering Lina to be faster coz we were worried that we were be late for the movie.

New moon movie was almost similar to the novel just that the book was on Bella's POV and the movie has included parts which was not from Bella's POV. In the movie, while Bella was on her way to the cliff to do the cliff diving, Charlie and Harry Clearwater was searching for the wolves. Harry Clearwater was attacked by Victoria but was interrupted by Jacob and the rest of the werewolves. Although Harry was not hurt, he got a sudden heart attack and passed away. This part was not found in the book coz the book only mentioned that the werewolves were chasing after Victoria and Victoria jumped into the water. There is a bit of changes to make the storyline flowed well.

Overall the movie is ok but the nice part is when Bella and Edward at Italy. For this movie, we get a glimpse of how Bella look like when she became a vampire. She look pretty and a bit child-like when she was running in the forest with Edward. The future about the two of them was really very nice. The best part about movie was to let us see from different point of views unlike the novel which is from Bella's views. Some small scenes like Edward crushing the poor phone when he thought Bella was dead and things like that. The ending was really frustrating when Edward asked Bella to marry him and it ended.

NTU Canteen A

2009-11-26T22:10:00.002+08:00

After Physiology paper, my friends and I were having our lunch cum dinner at NTU canteen A coz we have another literature at 5 pm. So while having lunch, I saw someone from another table that was right in front of our table. The person was someone I recognized but I was not too sure of. And... the person was my JC civics tutor. I was really surprised that I don't believe she was here, at NTU. I asked my fiend, who was also knew her as well, to double confirm.

So we called her and chatted for a few minutes becoz she need to attend a conference. She asked about what we are studying now and as well as our old classmates at NUS. But the atmosphere was a bit awkward. But it was nice to meet her anyway.

Japanese Listening Compre and Oral

2009-11-15T18:39:00.003+08:00

Last week, we were having listening compre and oral on tuesday and friday. People who were on the first batch will be taking listening and oral together on tuesday while the rest of us will take listening on tuesday, oral on friday.

During listening, we were all more prepared than the one we had for level 1. The first few sections of listening were rather okay for me. Basically, it tested on counters, weather and things like that. And, we were only allowed to listen once and they are all conversations which were much more easier.

The last section was always a nightmare for me. We were supposed to listen to one long passage and answered 9 true/false questions. Because the long passage was on a person talking about his visit to Singapore, it was very difficult to catch when he was talking fast and a lot of information were given at that point of time. Although this was the only section that we can hear it twice, but was really very difficult to take down memo while trying to digest what the person was trying to say.

As for my oral, which was on Friday, it was okay for me as compare to the Level 1 oral. At some point of time I don't really understand what my teacher was asking and so I have to ask her repeat the question again. She asked me when is my birhday and this year what presents I have received and reeived from whom. She also asked how many family members and what languages my parents understood.

The most funniest part came in. My teacher asked me whether I ate Japanese cuisine. I answered yes and I went on about what I have eaten and she asked me which one I liked the most. Then she asked when I ate and I answered suki sushi which I never go before. I went on lying about the food very nice but a little bit expensive. The I continued saying that I went there twice a month whcih I never step in there even once. I continue lying about past two weeks I am too busy to go there and I planned to go there the coming Saturday.

Whenever I thought of what I have said, it was really funny. Although I am lying, I am not guilty of that because I have at least said something rather that keeping quiet and let my teacher prompt with the questions.

We Got Married - Kwon and Ga In

2009-11-06T21:20:00.003+08:00

Jennifer's Body

2009-10-30T22:51:00.003+08:00

After finished with BS205 assignment, I went out with Lina and Eugene to watch the movie at Causeway Point. Expensive since we were watching at 7.40pm. So basically the movie is about Jennifer, Needy and chip and they were studying at Death Kettle High. Chip is Needy's boyfriend. On a particular day, Jennifer and Needy went to pub to listen to a band called Low Shoulder. During the performance, the whole place got on fire. Jennifer and Needy manage to escape including the Low Shoulder band. The main vocalist of the band took Jennifer away with their band leaving Needy staying at the fire scene.

Jennifer was brought to near the waterfall. The people from the band were conducting a so-called ceremony by giving a virgin to the Satan so that their next album will be selling good. The main vocalist used a knife and stabbed Jennifer a few times. The knife was later thrown into the waterfall. Because Jennifer was not a virgin, the demon was trapped inside her body. She need to feed on boys so that she will be lively and beautiful.

Some of the Jennifer's classmates was brutally killed by her. Eventually, her next target was her bestfriend, Neddy's boyfriend. Although Needy prevented Chip from eaten by Jennifer, Chip lost a lot of blood and was dead later on. Needy decided to take revenge and killed Jennifer but she was later sent to mental hospital. But she escape and went to look for the Low Shoulder who was very popular later on. She killed them in the hotel room with the same knife that was stabbed into Jennifer during the ceremony.

The movie was quite disapointing in the sense that it goes around on how Jennifer got possess by the demon and started to eat people. Not very boring but quite gruesome when she started riping the person out from their gut and drink their blood.

Mid-Autumn

2009-10-04T10:52:00.003+08:00

I was working at RTC yesterday and indeed yesterday was Mid-Autumn. It was a rainy day and there were no ala carte unless the guests requested for it but the choices are limited juz like Christmas. Buffet was very expensive but if they have the right coupon, then there will be 15% discount.

Auntie Helena, Yani and Sin Nee work inside. Sin Nee and Uncle George worked as runners but ala carte orders were not very much sincce most of the guests were having buffet. Lina and me work outside. Becuase of the table arrangement and the bad weather, We only need to take care K80 only, which consists of 20 persons and that's all. Sometimes, Lina has to walk to K30 that area will an umbrella coz of the unlucky people having their dinner and got trapped in the quite heavy rain.

Buffet spread was very sufficient for the hungry ghosts since this time round they have barbecue pork, duck, mutton soup, ice kachang, fried carrot cake at the terrace station. So it is crowded and there was no space to move to the other side of the terrace station unless you want to go into the rain.

Our dear captain Gerad forgot to order the paper placemats so we have to use the linen type of placemat which I have to count and roll it into bundles of ten. Dear Shawn nice enough to help me to roll the placemat. He happily sitting on the carpet, rolling the placemat and humming his Indian songs. Lina said he was a ali baba since he was sitting on the carpet.

Everyone please take note: Do not leave any valuable stuff in your bags when working in RTC. Apparently there are people going in and out of the electric room and opening people's bags, stealing money and things. Poor Faris yesterday lost his PSP. I juz happened to lost money at RTC premises recently as well. So, dun leave your handphones, wallet, PSP, mp3 player in the electric room. Now I dun even bring $1 into RTC coz people kept losing their valuables.

Kawaii: Junsu Baby Role Play

2009-10-01T23:05:00.001+08:00

Wednesday - Tanglin Area

2009-09-30T21:21:00.002+08:00

Went to Tanglin area to survey the people over there with Lynn, Mei Hui and Jie Yun. We planned to sample 100 people ranging from age 6 and above. Weather was hot. We split into two groups: Jie Yun and Mei Hui together, Lynn and I formed another group. At first, we did not manage to ge people to do answer our questionaire, we only gotten a few. Finally, we went to the Tanglin Mall and Lynn suggested that we can asked the lady at the info counter to help us fill in the form and the lady very kind, and willing to fill in the survey form.

Later, Lynn and I went to Starbuck coz she wanted to get a cold drink. We saw two JC students sitting at one corner studying. So I went to ask them to fill up the forms as well. After that, we went to sit at a corner and started calling people who we have known to answer our survey questions. I have called Peh Ching, Wendy, Sin Nee and Ting Shu.

Time passes. Mei Hui and Jie Yun met up with us at Starbuck to take a rest since they really stand under the sun for two hours and seriously asking people to do the survey. They manage to collect more that twenty plus replies for two hours.

After a short rest and a bit of snacking, we all move on to other areas to try our luck. This time round Lynn and I went to the bus stop and manage to get back a lot of replies.

Mei Hui and Jie met up with us at the bus stop to finish up the last four forms. And then we went to have our Sakae Sushi buffet. While enjoying our food, we also discuss about our assignments that are going to due next week and gossips about the happenings on last Friday which I have missed out.

Then we went to the Borders to look for literature text which is for our assignment. Later, I have to rushed off to meet Joanne at Bishan to collect the mooncakes.

Tuesday - Marina Square

2009-09-29T23:54:00.002+08:00

Went to kbox with Peh Ching and Wendy. First time with Wendy. She, like Yee Huey, also have 'wawa yin'. Peh Ching sang that Lady Gaga's Pokerface and Parapazzi. We sang a lot of old songs as well as some new ones. Like Jam Hsiao's Princess and JJ Lin's Drunk Red Hill and Not Fashinable Not To Spend Money. Wendy have chosen a lot of Jolin's songs as well which I dun really know how to sing. We also sang Jay Chou's songs as well. Kind of tiring for the three of us.

After that, we met Lina and Yu Ling for dinner at Pizza Hut. All of us except Yu Ling having the five courses meal. Wendy's main course got delay and we have to ask for it for two times for the food to be serve. By the time food is served, all of us have already finished.

After that, we accompanied Peh Ching back to Sembawang coz she need to meet uncle to collect her new Pixon phone. Yu Ling alight at Toa Payoh along the journey. Wendy, Lina and me waiting for Peh Ching at the MacDonald while she went to meet her father. Coz we were waiting for her treat.

Finally, she was back with a M1 bag that contained her new pink Pixon phone. Peh Ching treated us with hot fudge sundae while she herself getting a mcflurry. Meanwhile, Wendy has to help Peh Ching change the the sim card to the new phone and taught how to use the phone coz apparently she was too lazy to refer to the manuel book and find out by herself.

By the time, they have finish the phone thing, we have to go home already since it was nearly going to ten o'clock.

Yesterday at RTC!!!

2009-09-27T11:07:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was F1 second day and definitely is not busy. I was working outside with Felix and Ryan. Kumar floating around as usual. Sin Nee and Wendy working inside the cafe. Wendy nearly get to be the hostess, standing at the front door, asking 'Table for how many persons?'

Kumar instructed not to let Ryan touched the POS system outside since he accidentally keyed in the $5000 tips during the billing part and caused the member's card to be overcredit limit previously.

Felix was really very tired and he accidentally keyed wrong items as well. For one Italian kid, he keyed in three Italian kid instead. So he was telling Kumar he cannot touch the machine as well.

So...I came across this table that makes my mood A LITTLE BIT DOWN. This table previously has only two persons, so there is another two more uncle joining in. So...the two persons who came earlier gave me the impression that they spoke mandarin since one of them asking me something in mandarin. I assumed that the other two persons also spoke mandarin as well. So, when I ask the two persons (joined in later) whether they want desserts or not, one of them did not understand and asked me in dialect. So I asked him in English instead. The most angry part is when he said that he was not from China and he was from local. So I think he was trying to say that he was not a Chinese that why he dun speak mandarin. He was from local that why he know dialects and English only. So I said I dun speak dialects but I understand the dialects. So he shot back and said 'that why you are not Singaporean'.

I was angry at that point of time. How could he said such a thing when in fact mandarin and dialects are all originated from China. He said he was not from China so he dun speak mandarin. I think he might as well dun speak dialects since mandarin and dialects made him more disgrace. I think he really despised Chinese a lot. Very narrow-minded person.

Finally around 10pm, when we thought that there are no more guests and members coming to order food and drinks, another group of 15 persons coming again. But Felix cannot chased them to other areas since the GM was also sitting around that area.

When it is around 10.25pm, another table of three persons sitting at K33 and they order hot tea and desserts. Finally, I sent the bill for the member to sign, she pass me a credit card. So, I have to redo the whole thing again.

My day ended just like that...

Busy school term!!!

2009-09-19T11:43:00.002+08:00

Nowadays, I did not update very often because of tutorial, quiz and project stuff.

Japanese classes, as usual very fun. We have games to help us learn the new vocabulary and things like that. Every time, when the teacher take attendance, she will call the person's name and ask him or her a question that is related to what she had taught us before. For example, person A is called and the teacher may ask in Japanese what is today's date. Can be fun but at the same time very stress as well. You have to really know your stuff well or else sometimes questions asked may caught you off guard. The Japanese has gotten a bit more complicated as well. We have learn new Japanese particles to connect noun and verb, adjectives to memorize. Next week, after the holiday, we are having a small quiz on 30 Kanji characters.

Microbiology classes are as bad as usual, esp in tutorial classes. All of us hoping to get the graduate student instead of the professor to be our tutor for the tutorial sessions. The professor is more terrifying during the tutorial classes because he will called out names to answer the tutorial questions. The students called will have to stand in front of the whole class and 'interrogate' by the professor who is sitting on the chair. Very stress at that point of time since I have already experience that already during the second tutorial.

Anyway, yesterday was microbiology quiz. So, there is no microbiology tutorial. The professor was not seen in the school for the pass one week. Guess he was on holiday. The lecture for this week was by another professor who was also not too bad. Just that she was late for that lecture and she cannot finish the slides. Otherwise she was okay for that day. At least I did not fall asleep.

Meanwhile, I still busy doing my slides for the physiology presentation. And, after that I still need to work at RTC. Monday shall be going out with Lina and Peh Ching. We going to city hall. So my long holiday is rather packed.

Go to go now, have to do my slides xp

Shopping!!!

2009-09-06T11:39:00.003+08:00

Yesterday went shopping with Peh Ching and Lina. The main purpose is to look for Peh Ching's late birthday present, which is a wallet. But unfortunately, she did not get the wallet that she wanted.

We went to Far East Plaza after The Heeran. There was a small Food Fare at the atrium. We gotten something to eat since we having an early dinner. I was having yam paste with ginko nuts. The taste was okay.

We went to an accessories shop. I bought something from there.
A kawaii hair band:

It was slightly cheaper than their shop that we have visited earlier at The Heeran. So I decided to buy this at this shop instead.

Last Day At Buttercup

2009-08-11T10:03:00.002+08:00

Very sad becoz it is my last day there. Going to miss muffins, waffles, crepes and taco balls. Of course, and also our dear store manager, Angel, and pur 'operator', Auntie.

Also, I get to know one new staff as well before leaving. Her second day actually but she performed quite okay. She know how to serve customers and definitely not very shy. Very bubbly characteristic since she work quite long at F&B as well. Both of us have very similar experiences at our own working place as well. We talked about what happened at our working places and also about the customers.

Buttercup is not as busy as during the weekdays. At some point of time, there are totally no customers and it is really boring. So, the new staff and I take turns to clean the waffle machine.

During evening, there is a particular one female customer with a baby. She wanted to buy the taco balls. Normally, we would packed the taco balls into a nice paperbag for the customers. When she saw us wanted to pack it into the paperbag, she asked for a box instead. So, I was trying to explain nicely to her but she keep on insisting on getting the box becoz she worried that the taco balls will get crushed. She tried to argue with me and in the end she asked to see the person in charge. At that point of time, there are also customers around and the orders jammed becoz of her stubborness. I called Angel and finally we decided to give her the taco balls in a box without letting the boss knows.

This is the first getting a customer who insists on a box while most of them actually willing to accept our explanation regarding why we cannot give them a box for taco balls. Lets pray that the damn customer will not come back again. Otherwise she will do that again and she also has the excuse to do so since we did it for her.

This also makes me thought about the other time regarding on how I fold the crepes. That time, only me and Auntie working. This lady with a child came and ordered a plain crepe with nutella spread. After I have folded the crepe and gave it to the customer, she said why we folded so messy. She wanted us to fold it again and insists that crepes should not be folded like that. I felt like slapping the customer. She thought she know everything. Very arrogant. If she wanted to reject it at that time, I will straight away returned her the money and sayonara.

So, after the taco balls matter ended, I was busy with doing crepes and drinks which I don't get to do it often. For once, I have to do latte and hot chocolate without anyone guiding me. I cannot rely on the new staff as well.

While doing the latte, I was warming up the muffin as well. Somehow problem cropped up. The milk did not steamed up. Phone rang at that time and the person is Angel. So I asked about the steaming thing. After settling that thing, I totally forgot about my muffin. The icing on the muffin all melted. But I managed to do a proper latte.

Finally, I get to close the shop and see Angel for the very last time. Very nice of her to help me deposit the money so that I don't have to run here and there.

War At RTC!!!

2009-07-26T12:50:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was really SCARY!!!

Last week I did not work and so I am not too sure what happened during the last weekend. But from what I have heard from Siew Ling, Monday was really crowded. Members coming to RTC like never come before. I guess I will be in deep trouble.

Steamboat arrangement changes again. Menu also amended since some of those things are always not available. Good luck to me, Siew Ling and Eddie. Around six plus, cafe was already full house. Next thing, people coming to at the poolside area. At first, I can still manage. Take and key orders, set settings for them. But less than 30 mins, the members and guests started to fill in the tables that is located at lounge area as well. They sat all the way to K41.

Members kept asking for glasses of ice water and menus. Some request to shift the table in order to see the swimming pool and things like that. David from the 'lounge' came to help also. He took the orders and throw the order chits to me to help him set settings. I was confused, too many tables to set. Ruba trying to help me a bit as well. Poor Siew Ling have to key orders and do service for the cascade area as well.

We were busy until 9 plus when most of the crowd finally left. Siew Ling also a bit blur. She keyed the wrong table number and Eddie came after her, nearly bit her head off. Ruba also blur as well. He staple the first bill of K32 to the second bill of K34. Very funny. This couple was very blur last night.

Too many plates to clear. Poor Affiq and the other new guy have to work split shift. Both of them work from 9-3pm and then 5-11pm. Affiq said he dun want to work anymore. This coming Wednesday is his last day at RTC. I guess no more runner from cafe.

Muffins Sold Out

2009-07-22T12:45:00.003+08:00

Customer bought 6 'box of 8' from me.
And guess what?

Harry Potter

2009-07-19T13:45:00.002+08:00

Yesterday watch the movie with Lina, Eugene and Peh Ching. Have to leave the house at around ten plus to get those tickets after receiving sms from Peh Ching that most of the seats at Orchard and AMK are selling out fast, leaving only the first two rows. Planned to watch at Orchard but too bad, it only left with the first two rows. So, have to go to AMK to watch instead.

By the time I reached there, I only managed to get the third row only and it its at the right side of the screen. Directly under the speakers.

Cinema is fully packed with people. The movie is not bad except for the ending part where they showed how death eaters enter Hogwarts and killed Dumbledore before leaving the castle.

The part that I liked the most is when Ron is under the influence of love potion. He can really act. Very real. Ron was really funny. And also the Quidditch match is also very funny when Ron was the goalkeeper of the Gryffindor. The trial for the goalkeeper of Gryffindor is also funny.

Overall the movie is good and now it makes me want to read the book again and also the last book.

Channel 5 also showing harry potter part 3. Happens to watch my favorite when Harry and Herminone went back to 3hrs ago and save Buckbeak and Sirius Black.

Today I am going to watch Goblet of Fire later on at 7.45pm.

Thread Of Destiny

2009-07-04T13:01:00.002+08:00

Watched it yesterday before going to RTC to collect pay. The movie is not too bad and the cinema is not fully filled with people. I think only five of us in there. The movie is not as emo as I thought. It talks about this two persons who are meant to be together. Both of them are born on the same day of the month, 29th Feb. But there are also something happens that separates the two of them. The girl's mother wants the boy to stop seeing her daughter because the boy's mother is addicted to the drugs.

While the boy finally left the girl, she got involved in a lot of things. Her best friend committed suicide in front of her own eyes, classmates 'isolated' her and things like that. When they met again, the girl is dating with another guy who is violent.

The ending is very abrupt though and so I really cannot tell whether the two of them get together again or not. But overall is not too bad.

MRT

2009-06-30T09:04:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was really very unexpected. The entire day was really exhausting. At first I thought that I will be able to watch a movie before going to work. In the end I have to report at 12pm at Buttercup.

Then, customers are never ending. I continue to work until 9.40pm and there are a lot of things that are still not washed. Angel had to make an important phone call because the money deposited was stuck in the machine again. Meanwhile, I also make a phone call to dear Uncle Eddie because he decided to put me schedule for this coming Sunday as well. While talking on the phone, the money was used up, so the conversation was cut.

Really really very tiring walking alone to the MRT station and take the train alone. Finally the train come and I board the train. There are a lot of people entering the train as well. When I turned my head, I saw Melissa first and she was talking to a friend. I catch her attention. Of course, Esther also with her as well. I haven seen them for around two to three years.

We talked a lot on our way back to Woodlands. We went to Mac and talked since Esther wanted to have supper before returning home. Really happy to see the both of them.

Shopping!!!

2009-06-21T14:12:00.002+08:00

Finally got one day for me to shop. I went down to Novena Square first in the afternoon. Shopped by myself. I have gotten something for myself, clothes and a pair of jeans. I also went to Velocity and happened to see a table tennis match. Very exciting.

Went in to Giordano because I wanted to check up the price for that smiley tee but it is a bit expensive to me. So I need to think about. Oh, I saw a pair of shoes that I really like it very much but it is nearly fifty bucks. Maybe next time I come back. Esprit stuffs are also very expensive even though there are discounts.

I went to Cotton On and they are having special offers. I bought myself a polo tee and a blouse. This is my first time seeing a Cotton On outlet at Novena.

After that, I went to Buttercup to get a tuna salad crepe for my sister before meeting her at Bugis.

I got myself a bag at Bugis and a hoodie and a watch as well. My sis and I got the same design for the watch but of different color. After that, We meet Peh Ching becoz of the tin of cookies that I have ordered from her a few weeks ago. We continue to shop but I was very tired becoz I have to carry a lot of things that I have bought before Peh Ching came.

There are a lot of very tees that are very affordable just like Novena Square because of the Great Singapore Sale.

Night At The Museum 2

2009-06-16T09:06:00.002+08:00

Yesterday watch this movie with Lina. Not really as funny as Night At The Museum 1 though. But I really like the very last part when it shows the dinosaur with its electronic movements and roaring at the kids as well as the two little men working together to fight against the enemies.

Overall, the move is still quite okay. The story is actually talking about renovating the museum and most of the statues are being move to other places to be stored. The tablet that makes everyone comes alive is supposed to stay at the museum. However, the monkey steal the tablet and bring along to the other museum which later causes the chaos.

I will forever missed the scene of slapping between the monkey and the person. Very funny.

Burger King

2009-06-13T15:00:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, during my dinner break, I met my friend, Lynn, for dinner. I meet her at the shuttle bus drop-off point since she was doing some voluntary work at KK hospital. We immediately decided to go Velocity to have dinner, in particular, Burger King because fast food is faster.

We talked about a lot of things that has happened to us recently, and what are the movies that we have watched recently. Apparently both of us watched 'Dance, Subaru' and really like it a lot. We talked about our results and Lynn planned to sponsor a kid from Utopia.

Lynn and I had not meet for about one month plus and there are a lot of things that we wanted to tell each other but there is not much time for us to talk while chomping the burger and fries. We planned a movie date which is on a weekend because of my job. Not too sure what movie we are going to watch though. Maybe 'Ghosts of Girlfriend Past'? That is a nice movie.

After my dinner, I ran back to Buttercup since I was late. Lynn came later to try the waffle. She had a chocolate banana waffle.

I was really happy to see her and talk to her.

Must Watch - Kurosaki

2009-06-06T15:07:00.002+08:00

I started watching this Japanese drama around two weeks ago. Very interesting. It it about how swindler cheat money out of other swindlers. And, his name is call Kurosaki.
This role is played by Yamashita Tomohisa. There are only 11 eipsodes and I am going to finish watching it soon.

Meanwhile I have started watching another Japanese drama - Code Blue. The story is about flight doctors. Coincidentally, one of the main lead is also played by Yamashita Tomohisa. He is definitely suitable to played the role of flight doctor. Very cool.

Dance Subaru

2009-06-06T14:40:00.002+08:00

Yesterday I watch this movie alone at AMK Hub since I cannot find a perfect timing to watch with Lina.

The cinema is not completely filled since the timing is at 10 40am. Only around twenty persons coming to watch this movie.

The movie is very sad at the beginning when Kazuma die while Subaru was learning the dance steps from her friend, Mana. The ballet dance steps learnt was supposed to apologize to Kazuma. However, Kazuma did not get to see it.

During the funeral itself, Subaru met the suntie who operates a theater that shows dancers performing strip dancing and stuffs to entertain customers. Subaru started working part time at there as well.

One day, she perform the dance 'Bolero' which lead to the meeting of a famous American-Korean ballet dancer, Liz Park. Liz Park given her some criticisms on her bolero performance.

The story continues on when Subaru and Mana went for an audition and got to perform Swam Lake with the famous ballet company. Eventually, Liz Park recommended her to take part in the competition that is held in Shanghai.

The dance competition is very exciting. Eventually, Liz, Subaru and Mana went on to the finals. However, something happened before the finals. Subaru's auntie passed away due to heart attack. This affects her greatly and causes her to come down with a fever before the competition. But eventually she won the competition.

I have watch the making before the movie. The main lead, Meisa Kuroki, who played the role of Subaru, did not learn ballet dancing before. But yet she can stand on her toes who prove that that she is talented in ballet. There are a lot of interesting shown in the making. Go Ara played the role of Liz Park. She is from Korea and has not learn ballet before yet it was so real in the movie. The choreography for the hip hop dance is very cool as well.

Bbox & Pizza Hut

2009-05-31T11:37:00.007+08:00

Yesterday was supposedly the RTC gathering. But since the BBQ was canceled, only a few of us turned up for the gathering. So, in the end we went to Bbox. There are only 4 of us actually, Michelle and Shanelle have a lunch date with a colleague at Tampines.

Bbox is located quite far away from Toa Payoh HDB Hub. But the charges is affordable. The songs that they have there are quite updated but the mics and sound system are not that fantastic.

After Bbox, we went back to Toa Payoh HDB Hub to meet Michelle and Shanelle, as well as Shanelle's BF. We have dinner at Pizza Hut. We also bought a cake for Michelle to surprise her after the dinner.

Last pic at Bbox.
We trying to do a funny thing with Peh Ching strangling us but it looks weird only.

The very last photo taken by Shanelle's boyfriend.
Shanelle very bad, she said that since her boyfriend is not one of the RTC group, so he has to help us take a pic.

PS: There is one photo of Shanelle with her boyfriend but Peh Ching did not upload to facebook. Haha...I wonder why.

Staying At Home

2009-05-29T12:50:00.002+08:00

Not working today becoz of my lip. It is swollen like a sausage, very scary. So I am getting an off day for today.

Juz join the Facebook and it is okay actually. A lot of quizzes and games for you to do. Since I am free for the whole day, I will be exploring Facebook.

Not too sure why my lips swollen. But I guess it has to do with the potato chip that I ate yesterday night.

Examination Results

2009-05-23T13:07:00.002+08:00

Yesterday the results just released. I passed all my modules. Regarding my grades, there are 2 'A's and 4 'B's. I am satisfied with the grades I am getting.

The really unexpected thing is that the Metabolism module, as well as the psychology module actually got the 'A's. I don't know what happened because the written papers for both the modules are considered difficult and somehow I did better compared to the other modules that I am more confident in.

For my Japanese, I got B+. It is kind of expected. Most of the people should have did well for written paper since it was so easy. The components that cause me to get a B+ is due to the listening and oral tests. Most of the people can get at least a 'B' for this module.

Very happy that I do not need to re-take any of the module. My GPA score is same as semester 1, 4.00, which is belongs to 2nd upper honor class. Lets hope that my GPA score can maintain above 4.00 in order to get at least a 2nd upper honor.

Buttercup

2009-05-12T12:02:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was my first day work at Buttercup. Confusing to me, a lot of things for me to memorize. I still unable to differentiate between the different types of muffins they are selling.

At the start, it was okay for me. The first thing they taught me is to make taco balls. It looks easy but in actual fact it requires a lot of practice in order to make taco balls with nice shapes. My hands are kind of not listening to me, so I was having a hard time packing taco balls and muffins into bags and boxes when customers ordered.

I also learn how to make crispy waffles because there are only two of us there and I really need to force myself to learn how to pour the mixture and remove the baked waffle.

Around 5 plus or 6, David, the person who interviewed me previously, came to the store to help out because there are no other staff here other than me and store manager, Angel. At around 6.30pm, it was the peak hour time. A lot of orders for crepes and waffles coming in. Because I do not know how to make crepes, so the store have to rely on David and Angel to make the crepes. Very stress at the time when David was there. Somemore, I kept forgetting the flavors of muffins, the different types of crepes and prices. Customers ask questions which I totally do not know how to answer because I still not familiarize with it.

Sometimes I also need to take orders and do cashier at the same time. The confusing part comes when I not too sure what to key when customer order waffle with extra spread.

So today will be my second day. Lets hope that today nothing big will happened to me.

Hectic For Past 3 Days

2009-05-11T08:57:00.002+08:00

After my post on Timbre, I did not blog for a few days already. I have interviewed for a job and yesterday just received after my part time at RTC, I received a call from them to report for work.

Last three days, I have been working at RTC. Friday and Sunday are the two days that considered to be be quiet. Saturday was the busiest day at RTC. As usual, I have to take care cashier and service. But luckily, Felix ask one of the trainee to help out at the terrace station so I can still be able to key in the orders without getting distracted. But still, a lot of human errors in the middle.

Yesterday was Mothers' Day. So, all of us have to go down to my Grandmother's house for celebration. This is a so called practice, every year we have to go down there to celebrate. This year is a bit different, they ordered buffet instead of preparing food by themselves. Buffet includes sushi, eclair, curry and so on. The cake was from Angie's Choice. Is a durian ice - cream cake, very nice.

After the feast at my Grandmother's house, I have to go straight for work. The place is very sunny as usual. Seems like the steamboat has become more popular. For the past two days, the sales for steamboat are quite high, maybe becoz of Vesak Day and Mothers' Day.

Recently, I can't find time to watch video clips anymore, especially 'We Got Married'. But the show gets a bit boring recently. My favorite couple, AnSol lefte at episode 28. Alsin couple left at 30-something episode and Ant couple left at episode 40 or 41, can't really remember.

Recently, I happened to see this piece of news over the net. Sinae from the Alsin couple is going to get married on 28th May. A lot of the fans will be very sad because they are hoping that Alex and Sinae may go for the real relationship. I guess you really cannot believe everything you have seen over the TV, some parts are true but there are more which are not real.

I don't I want to watch it anymore and I really can't the rest of the episodes after episode 43 since the subbing group is unable to sub it anymore due to lack of translators.

Shall blog soon. Annyeong...

Dinner at Timbre

2009-05-01T15:58:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, we celebrated Lynn's birthday at Timbre, which is near to Asian Civilization Museum. Lynn made a reservation at 7.30pm because the place is always full house if you just walk in. The atmosphere is very soothing and the place is just beside the river. At 10pm, there is a band coming in to perform.

We order pizzas, chicken wings, seafood platter and drinks. Most of us ordered alcoholic drinks and one actually ordered a mocktail, Virgin de Choco choco. I had a frozen daiquiri with strawberry flavour. The birthday girl ordered sex on the beach. Some of the names on the drink list is very funny. For example, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Carribean and Shrek.

The food is okay but I really like the seafood platter. My drink is ok, but the strawberry flavour tastes weird. My friend grumbled about her Virgin de Choco Choco is not nice, chocolate is really diluted.

The night is really very relaxed. The lead singer has a wonderful voice.

Yesterday is also very shocking night for me. Lynn told us that she went for counseling. She said she kept thinking about her choice on her course and she was having panic attcks during the nights. I am really worried about her because the past 13 weeks of school, she kept missing lectures and tutorials. She was sick regularly. So I was wondering maybe her immune system get a bit weak. And since I know she sometimes sleep late the day before school, so maybe she cannot make it for her morning lessons. We did not realized that she has some problems that she don't want to tell us so that it will not affect us.

She always very cheerful and I thought nothing affects her greatly. I guess she do has her own stress and problems. But I am glad to hear from her yesterday night. I guess she need to reconsider again her choices and her yesterday's confession was just to get us mentally prepared. But no matter what, we will always want her to be happy.

17 Again

2009-04-30T09:47:00.002+08:00

Watch this yesterday evening with my sister at AMK Hub. The movie is really very funny. The story actually talks about this person who made the decision in his high school senior year. Before the basketball match, his girlfriend told him about her pregnancy. He had to make a decision, whether to get a scholarship and go to university or to get married and give up the brighter future of becoming a basketball player.

In the end, he chose his girlfriend and got married. So, now he has two kids but his wife decided to divorce because they cannot get along with each other. On that day itself, he met some weird old man who is jumping off from the bridge. He himself also fall off and the next morning he was covered with mud. When he reached his friend's house, he realized he has changed back to seventeen year old when looking into the mirror.

His friend, who cannot recognized him at that time, came after him with swords and knives. But because of the the graduation photo, his friend managed to recognize him.

So, he decided to go back to Hayden High School to re-choose his path and he actually get his friend to be his father so as to get him enroll into the school.

During the school days, he has to protect his daughter from getting to close with the bad guy, Stan, and prevent his son from getting bullied by the basketball team.

Eventually, he and his son get into the basketball team and they played well.

So meanwhile, whenever he saw his daughter getting to intimate with Stan, he will do all sort of things to stop them, splashing water and knocking into Stan. Very funny.
But later, his daughter broke off Stan and started to like him. It started to get chaotic near the end.

During the party, in front of many people, he kissed his wife. This actually very shocking and looks very wrong. The part that was very funny is when he got slapped by his wife, his daughter, his daughter's friends and his fake father.

The movie actually ends with a happy ending when he finally remember why he choose to get married instead of going towards the path for basketball player.

So it is really worth watching it. Very funny.

Exams Over!!!

So happy. Finally it juz ended yesterday. The paper...hmmm is not very easy for me. I just hope for a pass that all.

After the exam, I got a lift from a friend. But before that, we have gone to Jurong Point to get a cake and balloons for the friend's boyfriend. My friend got an Ipod for her boyfriend (envious, right?).

So after I have reached home, I get to watch for videos again. My the other friend actually recommended me this variety show 'We Got Married'. Just started yesterday. So far, I would said it is not bad. Some parts are really funny for the particular couple. So it is worth watching. Right now I am at episode 5 alr.

Later going to watch movie with my sis and cousin.

So I shall blog later on as well since I am free already.

By the way we going to watch '17 again'.

One More Paper to go...

2009-04-22T18:50:00.002+08:00

Let me just run through what has happen for the past one week. I was preparing for the next three modules starting from last week thursday until this morning. I am now kind of dozing off any moment and I keep typing a lot of spelling errors. Let see, hmmm... I was mugging for the past few days already. Because the three papers are on consecutive days, so now it is very tiring in mental and physical state.

First paper I had for this week is cell biology. A lot of stuff to memorise, a lot of new drugs and functions to memorise. My last weekend is really torturing me. That paper was in the afternoon. After that paper, I have to rush back home to study for psychology module which is the next morning. Can you imagine the state I am after my cell biology paper, taking notes and dozing off at the same time. That night was so terrible that I decided to go to bed early and wake up 4am in the morning to study the statistics part that will also be tested.

That morning was the most terrible morning I ever had. When I reached the bus stop that is neared my house, I just missed my bus. I have to wait for another 10mins and the bus stop is fulled of people. The bus is considered quite full as well, nearly have to wait another one which was going to come in another 5 mins. Every stop was filled with people.

During the psychology exam, I meet one of my JC seniors. She was the chairman of Chinese Orchestra. Not too sure what paper she was taking. She happens to sit quite near me. As for the psychology paper, it was terrible as well. I nearly can't finished the whole paper. MCQ was really very difficult, even using common sense also no use. Standard is definitely different form what we have sat for the quiz. For the statistic part, the t value obtained was also very weird. For the entire paper, I really not confident in how I fared for it. Just hope that my quiz and project can save me.

After that paper, I take a short nap, a really short one, around one hour or so. Because I need to help my mum stew the chicken. I started my next revision form 6pm onwards. This is a genetics module and the question format for this exam is MCQ only. But I still have 10 lecture notes to look before going for the exam.

In the end I still have to wake up at 5:30am to study because the previous night I only managed to go through five lecture notes.

So, today is the day I sat for my genetics paper which was okay in a way. Because the MCQ may have multiple ans to each question, so I have to shade the correct one and make sure that I shade all the correct options for each question, otherwise no marks will be awarded. But still, I left earlier, at least one hour earlier.

Now I am very tired...but I still got one more paper to go. I hate this module and I think I will did badly because I hate it.

Japanese Exam

2009-04-14T22:53:00.002+08:00

The paper is easy and this time round they don't have comprehension. I guess most of the students taking Japanese Level 1 will score well for this paper. As long as you learn of the nouns and Kanji the teacher has taught and practice writing it, most of the questions you are able to do it.

The first three sections actually testing the nouns in Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana. The fourth and fifth sections are filling in the blanks to make the sentences complete. And the last section which consists of 42 marks is the one with many pictures that describe the person's daily routine. The routine is in English and pictures to help you understand so that you can write the person's routine in hiragana and katakana.

I think for my case, there is only two parts that I am not very sure of. But I don't to think about it anymore. I took around 45 mins to complete the paper and I spent another 35 mins checking every single spelling error and language error. The paper lasted for two hours but I decided to leave the place earlier since I need to prepare for the next paper which is tomorrow afternoon as well.

Some people actually left earlier than me. I thought they only took one hour to do and check their papers.

I guess most likely next semester I will still take Japanese Level 2 since the lessons are actually very fun.

Dark Waters

2009-04-12T13:48:00.003+08:00

A very boring movie shown on Channel 5.
Not very scary at all.
The ghost, who is a little girl, is very bad in the end.
Nearly killed the daughter until the mother pleaded and said that she will become the ghost's mother.

The entire story is not very terrifying except the part when you finally see the ghost face in the washing machine. Otherwise you will keep seeing the ceiling which always leaked during the night.

I think i will want to watch the japanese version which will be more scarier that this one.

Sick

2009-04-12T13:46:00.000+08:00

Very tiring, juz have one dose of the medicine and I am going to faint already.
Still have to study for exams.
Very miserable=(

Alone

2009-04-11T13:53:00.000+08:00

Alone or some of you may have know it as '连体阴' is quite scary.
The ghost, who is the sister, came to haunt her twin sister when the twin sister and her boyfriend returned back to Thailand.

Starting, I mistaken it as a korean horror movie because the scene started with a korean birthday song. But the first scene is at korea when the living twin sister is having her birthday celebration.

She received a phone call, saying that her mother admitted to the hospital and so she and her boyfriend went back to thailand.

During the stay at the house where the twin sisters used to live in, the living twin sister kept seeing the ghost sister.

Some of the scenes are very terrifying, like the ghost sister lying beside the living sister and the ghost hanging onto the rotating fan and things like that.

But in the end you will realized that there is actually a hidden truth behind it.

What I can said is that in the end the living sister also die during a fire breaking out at her house. But actually this is retribution because she actually committed a lot of mistakes.

So, watch it if you have the courage. It is definitely the nicer horror movie that I have seen for the past few fridays' nights.

Oral and Listening

2009-04-08T17:34:00.002+08:00

For this two days, I am having listening test plus oral test.

Yesterday was the listening test. Very stress for the entire session. We did a practice first before the start of the actual listening exam. The practice is definitely very easy. Finally, the actual part comes in. It consist of six parts and last for around 30 mins. The starting few sections I still be able to make up what the speaker is trying to say. And those few sections will not be repeated. So once you miss it you really miss it and you cannot request the tape to be replayed.

Finally, the climax came. This part is the only part that repeated twice. For every section, there is an example and the sample question before the actual ones. For this last part, every thought that the first part of this section is just an example. Mind you! The person was talking damn fast. And I barely catch it. Finally when the person finished talking, questions were asked. Then everyone started to realize this is the real thing.

So, everyone has to wait for the repeat. But it was really really very fast. Too fast that we barely catch the many details like when did the person came to Singapore, take what kind of transport and things like that. Meanwhile, everyone started to take some notes before waiting the questions to be asked.

So that was my listening test which was totally screwed up!

Then today is the oral exam. For the oral exam, recordings will be taken so that other Japanese lecturers get to hear what the students have said.

So, the first question to me is what date is it for today. I ended up thinking that my examiner is talking about what day is today.

And then I have to correct myself.

Some of the question I dun really catch what she have asked. I think I have also misinterpret the questions. I just fill that there is something very wrong. I should have just elaborate what I have answered maybe ask her to repeat the questions again. I just panic and brain goes blank during that time.

I feel very sad about it=(

RTC

2009-04-05T11:42:00.001+08:00

Yesterday worked with Wendy and Faris. Same as last week Saturday, it was so busy. Ala Carte orders and steamboat made the few of us dizzy as well.

Wendy told me that she got scolded by some customers becoz of the food orders. I billed the wrong table becoz someone told me the wrong table number and I keyed some of the wrong orders as well. Otherwise, we would have won this battle nicely.

So, Wendy and Faris left at 10pm while I have to stay to 11pm since I started at 6pm. Eddie assigned me to wipe the cutlery. That time, Yao Chang was also wiping it as well. When he saw me wanted to wipe the cutlery, he trying to persuade me to wipe those plates instead. I told him I dun want to becoz to heavy to carry. I told him I really wanted to wipe the cutlery.

In the end the two of us were wiping the cutlery. Then he suddenly ask what I am doing right now. So I told I was studying. Then he replied me how old are you and aren't you supposed to go NS. I answered him 'You courting death!'

Then, Eddie came in to wipe the few racks of cutlery with me. Suddenly, Ricky came in and said faster wipe or else you cannot go back.

But we finally finished and there is some free time. Meanwhile Shawn was recounting the steamboat sales becoz he dun trust me. He asked me whether I have keyed in the 3 chicken rice or not. I told him I did but he dun trust me becoz he cannot find it. Finally he found it. I said in a voice full of grievance 'I dun want to do cashier, I want to quit, you dun believe...'

Finally, I left that place on the dot - 11pm.
So happy.

RTC - Busy Saturday

2009-03-29T11:19:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was really very busy for me. I think yesterday there are still people coming in to order food and drinks after 10pm.

So, I was supposed to look after terrace station. It is very easy when you only have take care service. But for me, I have to take care service and cashier at the same time.

While taking orders and take care service, there are bills waiting for me to settle, orders waiting for me key. Working solo is not going to work for me, I really cannot do it by myself. The other side, the lounge area, we have captain Felix and the other two wait staffs because some members sat until table K44. So no choice, I have look after my station alone.

Orders keep coming in, bills as well. The stupid machine does not allow the card to be swipe, have to manually key the numbers. It takes up a lot of time, troublesome procedures.

While doing some of the bills, because I am stuck at the billing part and unable to key the orders, so I ask nice siew ling to help me. When she came back those keyed orders, I realized that one membership card was missing. So, I went searching for it and also ask Siew ling.

I was really panic at that time. Finally I decided to ask Felix to see whether he saw it or not. At first, I really don't want to alert Felix because of his bad temper might suddenly explode at that point of time if I tell him about it. But actually the card is with him all the time. So, I just getting paranoid about losing the card.

Recently, I seems to be very clumsy and has a higher tendency to trip or slip. Before that, Felix walked pass the cashier station and while passing the chicken rice to the staff, he knocked the entire bowl of soup and spill it onto the floor. So, you can imagine how slippery it is to walk to the cashier counter. When finally return back to the cashier counter with the signed bill, I nearly slipped. Luckily, I grabbed hold of the table to prevent a bad fall.

By the time I left, which was 10pm, Felix has a another long table coming in. I guess another busy Saturday night for him.

Thursday Night

2009-03-28T10:22:00.002+08:00

This entry is a bit late. I juz realized that I haven post an entry on that eventful Thursday night.

Event: Steamboat cum gathering
Time: 6.30pm
Date: 26th March 2009
Venue: Bugis's Mac

People Involved:
Michelle, Shanelle, Affiq, Satia, Peiching, Wendy
Lina, Me, Tang En, Yee Huey, Ryan, Sin, Grace, Sin Nee

Story:
I met up with Michelle first to book a table for around 17 persons. But actually less than that because some did not turn up last min. Uncle Eddie lie to me and said that he can turn up but actually he need to attend a wedding dinner. Eric Tan also cannot turn up, not too sure why and the chef, Ah Hua, also did not turn up after Affiq persuading him again and again.

So, in the end ony 13 people turn up and go straight to the steamboat shop juz across the street.

Food is ok and the charges for each person is less than 20 bucks after GST and service charges. There are two choices, yuan yang steamboat and barbecue. Drinks free flow and there are dessert as well. Some more it is buffet style, juz like seoul garden. I have tried the chicken and tom yam soup base. Very nice. Shall post pictures after I have gotten from my sister.

After that, everyone still want to go somewhere else. So, after discussion, we decided to go Mind cafe at Dhoby Chaut. The cafe has a wide collection of games. So, I get to try the Taboo and another game which I cannot remember the name. The game, Taboo, that we played is a modified version. We speak in mandarin instead of English and we have actions to help people guess the word.

So we actually played until about 11pm. By the time we reached home is around 12am.

Fast and Furious

2009-03-27T21:26:00.002+08:00

I am not going to watch this movie. But I just realized something after going through some forums and webpage. Guess what, this movie (Fast and Furious) actually included korean songs as their background music. One of the songs is rising sun by tvxq. I just saw the thriller to verify it. And, yes the song is going to be in the movie.

Busy weekends adn exams coming!!!

2009-03-23T16:49:00.002+08:00

Sorry for not updating because too busy with school stuff and everyday reach home 7 and 8 plus is an enjoyable thing to do. Currently, just started on discussing psychology report with the team mates last Wednesday. In the end reach home around 8 plus. Almost brain dead.

Thursday again is practical day. We get to leave the laboratory early but results gotten for BS107 really sucks. Difficult the count the yeast cells we have plated on Monday.

Friday: First thing in the morning we get to know our psychology quiz result. Not too bad. I got 26 out of 30. Not the highest. The highest is 29 out of 30. The lecturer is teaching us on student t - test. Not very difficult, just apply formula will do. Rules very similar to z - test.

Then came the Japanese lesson, learning new verbs and nouns. Yes, also kanji characters. Very intensive yet very interesting.

Friday night: Watch the horror movie on Channel U. Realize that I have watch before. Watch halfway and felt asleep for 5 minutes almost at the end of the movie. But still I sustained to the very last of the movie when the girl turn into the terrifying ghost. Since I have watched before, so it is not that scary.

Weekends: Spend sometime doing my tutorials and reading novels. Rest of my time spent on RTC. Not as busy as last week. This time round work with Felix the cat and Eddie the sea cucumber. Have asked most of them to joined us for steamboat gathering but mostly unable to. Ann going back to Malaysia today and some working afternoon shift on the eventful day itself.

In the end two of the reports that are required to be submitted and yet I still unable to complete any one of them. Now trying to complete of the two reports first.

Boys Over Flower Episode 19

2009-03-19T08:46:00.002+08:00

This is the most funny episode. There is one scene that I really like it. So...the F4, Jae Kyung, Jan Di and Ga Eul were at Jan Di's house for housewarming party. They played the game called the Truth Game. One person will turn the bottle and see who got chosen to answer the question. And the answer must be the truth. People who cannot answer the question will be punished. At first, they were thinking a kiss, a french kiss and a snap on the forehead. In the end, the punishment is a kiss.

When Ji Hoo was chosen, he refused to answer Ee Jung's question, so Ee Jung received a kiss from Ji Hoo.

And, when Jan Di posed a question to Won Bin and he said that Joo Pyo is self-centered, Ji Hoo is in fourth dimension and Ee Jung is hot and cold casanova. So the other three F4 punished Won Bin. Ji Hoo gave him a kiss as well.

Yup, this is most funny part but is also my favourite part for this episode.

Two Movies In A Night

2009-03-17T01:54:00.001+08:00

Yesterday night, juz finished was watching twilight on my laptop and V for Vendetta shown on Channel 5.

Some of the twilight scenes are always that funny.

As for V for Vendetta, I miss out the first 30 minutes of it. The movie is not bad. Story is about V fighting against the totalitarian government using terrorist tactics. But in the end, he is dead in the movie.

And there is a girl he has saved. The scene which was very funny is when the girl is captured by the so-call ed government and the people over there actually shave he head. But in fact, she was captured by V once again because he wants her to face the death and terror.

So, after watching these two movies one after another, I am really very tired and especially the next day I have to wake up early.

Back to RTC - Day 1

2009-03-15T09:06:00.002+08:00

My sister and I went back to work yesterday from 5pm till 10pm. Because they can only offer short hours for part-timers and from what I have heard, they can only afford 3 part-timers.

One of the part-timers work morning shift and the two of us work in the afternoon shift.

So...yesterday was really really busy. Only the two of us, plus our captain and another trainee from the other outlet. The four of us have to run the entire outside station, including the terrace, pool bar and lounge area. Apparently, the little drizzling helps a bit. Most of the members have sat quite close to our terrace station. So it is easier for us to provide service. But there are still about four tables sat at the sheltered area of the lounge. So there is a bit of walk to do. Luckily, no one sat at the pool bar becoz of the drizzling.

But becoz of the good business at cafe, some people do not have a table. So, there is a group of 20 persons sat at the cascade area, which is under our station. And when they finally came, one of them stated to help herself to the water and she keep saying that no one came to serve them. And she started saying that there is not enough cups. I was there, preparing the water and bring it over to the lounge area when I realized that I dun even have the time bring the rice and water to those members over there.

The lady made around three trips to bring the water over to her table and when I said that she have enough cup already, she kept saying not enough not enough. Finally, one of guests called her and asked her to stop bringing water again. And then, she finally stopped. And becoz of her, I delayed the time to send the cups to the members at the lounge area. By the time I have reach there, the drinks were already served.

When finally most of the members and guests left, it was around 9.30pm. So, while I was clearing the tables at the cascade area, our captain brought along two bowls of tom yam soup. One for me and one for my sister. So, I was helping myself to the bowl of soup that contains prawn and squid while my captain helped to see see look look.

Finally, the work at RTC has finished. Definitely is a tired day.

At Student Actvity Centre & Mac

2009-03-14T11:12:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, after my Japanese Lesson, I went to look for my frenz at student activity centre. When I reach the one of the meeting rooms my frenz are in, it was very very noisy. My frenz started complaining about the bunch of students talking and laughing loudly.

Later, I decided to go up to the cafeteria to buy my lunch, two of my frenz cannot stand the noise and decided to come along with me. One of them closed the door with a loud bang. Very funny to see her doing this. But I wonder whether it works or not.

After staying for two hours, tolerating that group of people, we have to go for lecture. Before lecture, my frenz and I went to canteen A to get something. I decided to get myself a chocolate sundae. After placing my order, I have to stand at a side to wait for it. At the same time, there is another queue that also order a chocolate sundae and vanila cone. While the mac people attending to that order, I realised that the person making the sundae was not familiar with the machine and she took a long time making one sundae and cone. And then, another person from my queue also order a chocolate sundae. When, finally my chocolate sundae was ready, and I prepare to take it, this person stand behind took it quickly and walked away. I was so angry and ask the person to make another one for me. The person is a guy wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. Though I did not see his face clearly, but if I see the person, I will remember.

Japanese Lesson

2009-03-13T22:59:00.002+08:00

Japanese lesson is definitely very fun to attend.

The teacher ask the student whether he took an airplane back to Kuala Lumpur.
And, he replied "hai, soudesu."

Everyone got very quiet for a few seconds.
This student suddenly blurted out "It is the truth."
So everyone started laughing again.
The teacher tired to explain that when the question involves the noun, we can reply as "hai soudesu". If the question involves the verb, we have to reply by repeating the noun and verb again.

Another very interesting thing is that sometimes when you speak in Japanese, it involves a lot of particles like "de", "do", "he", "no" etc. So the sentence can be very log and difficult to said it and you trying to join all the nouns and verb together. And each type of noun with different types of particle.

Boys Over Flowers - Blessed OR Cursed

2009-03-10T21:00:00.000+08:00

The cast can be quite unlucky. Kim Bum, acting as So Ee Jung got into two accidents already. But now hie is ok already. While he was recovering, the female lead who played the Geum Jan Di also got into an accident. She got injuries on her face I think. While the female lead got into accident, another actress committed suicide. She is the one of the three students that always bullied Geum Jan Di in the drama.

I think yesterday is her funeral and the BOF went to her funeral to pay respects.

Lets hope Koo Hye Sun will recovered soon from her injuries.

While the broadcasting of episode 18 was postponed, the BOF special was broadcasted. All The F4 members attended the talk show. The most funny part is the NG scenes. Must not miss it.

Another thing to look forward is their 2nd OST. There are more nice songs coming and lets hope that for the remaining 8 episodes there are no more bad things happen to the cast anymore.

Shutter

2009-03-07T09:23:00.002+08:00

Shutter was shown last night on Channel U. This movie is not as scary as you think. Yes, the ghost is very bloody and gruesome and she only came out to scare audience a few times only.

The story line is still quite ok, not very attractive and can be quite boring for some of the people. It takes sometime before the ghost started to come in and scare the hell of you.

If you wanted to see the ghost at the start of the movie, this movie will not be suitable cause the ghost came in later.

Friday...Weekends coming!!!

2009-03-06T21:05:00.002+08:00

Quiz is finally over. Japanese lesson is very interesting as well as intensive. Our tutor taught katakana (finally) and the dates and months. There will be a lot of memory work to do because of the different sounds and writings and things like that.

Lessons as usual. The same BS109 professor, talking fast about microtubules. Difficult to take down notes with the speed like that. But he got interesting video clips to show us.

A very tired day as usual. On my way back to Woodlands, I was on a bus and sleeping soundly when there is a Malay kid who sat opposite to me playing his PSP. Then...he step on me. Though it is not that painful because he is juz a 5-6 years old kid. But he woke me up because of his foot. So I got very irritated about it.

This also happened to me two days ago. The same bus that I took back to Woodlands. A Malay woman carried a 2-3 years old kid and sat beside me. Again, I was sleeping because I was too tired after the quiz. And, this kid very very naughty. While I was sleeping, he kicked me. So I tired to ignore him, shifted my leg to the right side a bit and continued sleeping. But he keeping kicking me a few times. The Malay woman was aware of this and lecture that kid.

After that few kicks, I got very irritated because I cannot go back and take a nap. Very angry with the kids nowadays who don't behave themselves properly on buses. Some of the students as well.

No School, No Lesson

2009-03-05T08:58:00.000+08:00

Don't have to wake up early because today no practical. Other than practical, there are no lesson schedule before or after the lab session. So...hooray.

But...
I still have to study for another quiz which is tomorrow morning. The module is the psychology one.

A lot of stuff to understand and need to revise on my statistics. I don't know for how long I have not touch on mathematics already. At least one or two years already. So...I have to pick up these things again

Got to study again...
TIRED

Molecular biology's Quiz

2009-03-04T20:51:00.000+08:00

The quiz has only 9 short-answer questions. As long as you study, it is going to be very easy to score. But the most angry thing is when most of the students studied a lot on the translation and the mechanisms but it is not tested on the quiz itself.

The translation lecture is among those lectures that I feel I have trouble understanding it because of the complex mechanism on how to ensure fidelity and the correct pairing of tRNA with amino acids and programmed read through on mRNA. Very very complicated and a lot of initiation factors and things like that have to memorize.

Let hope that I did not make any careless mistake on the anti-codon question and the labeling question.

Outside LT19 and LT20

2009-03-03T18:57:00.000+08:00

My friends and I saw something very interesting yesterday while we were on our way to the LT19. And, we saw two person in winnie the pooh and donald duck costumes. very cute, especially winnie the pooh.

One of my friends actually said that in Japan, most of the people in the disneyland costumes are females. So, cannot anyhow touch the disney characters or she may accused you of molesting her.

Stabbing Incident At NTU

2009-03-02T18:38:00.001+08:00

The case happens in the morning around 10:30. At that time, we were having our early lunch since lecture ended one hour earlier. I did not hear anything about it probably because the scene was rather far away from the cafeteria we were at.

I only knew it when I was with my friend plus another two students who I don't know. We were in a room at student activities centre. One of the two students showed my friend the sms he received from his friend. The sms was about a student stabbing his professor two times. Later the student cut his wrist and jumped from the building.

One of the female saw him jumped and was greatly traumatized by the scene she saw. I heard that she has to receive counseling.

We were thinking that maybe our the other two may seen or heard something while they were on their way for French lesson. But when we ask them after their French lesson, they said they did not seen or heard anything when they passed by the EEE building. I guess they trying to hush things down.

It is shocked to most us here and I think this is the first case happened in NTU. I guess the student was very stressed out for his final year project. It might be because something triggered this to happen.

20th Century Boys

Yesterday watch this movie with my sister. The storyline is okay but you will feel a bit unrealistic. The starting part of the movie can be confusing if you cannot get the dates right.

The very first scene is set at year 2015, in a prison( I assumed), and there is one person telling a true story of his friend. After that, they have to go back to year 1997 and the even in 1970s.

So the story can be quite confusing. But I guess the story is about this group of kids in 1970s who set up a so called organization with their own symbol and a Book of Prophecies. But later, the flag, the book and the rest of the things related to the organization were buried away until in the year 1997.

That year was when all the terrorist attacks started. First, people who joined the cult went disappearance. Next, there is an unknown virus killing the people all over the world. And, this symbol of the cult is the one that the kids in the 1970s came up with. Those killings around the them were based on the Book of Prophecies.

The person came up the Book of Prophecies is Kenji. He and his childhood friends met up during a classmate gathering and they were discussing about the symbols. There were night of them who were supposed to be the one who rescue the humanity from being destroy by the 'Evil Organization'(as written in the Book of Prophecies).

In year 2000, the very last day of the 20th century, there will be a robot that will spray virus on the human beings to kill them.

While the group of seven, including Kenji, involving in the mission to stop the killings.

At the very last part, two of them were dead. Human being survived but killings will start all over again in year 2015. That is when Kenji's niece, Kanna, comes into the picture. And then, very irritating, the movie said 'to be continued'.

The story is really very complicated and can be confusing when they jump from one year to another year.

Boys Over Flowers Episode 16

2009-02-26T20:11:00.002+08:00

This episode is more funny than the previous.

In order to bring the dumb (Goo Jun Pyo) and dumber (Geum Jan Di) again, So Ee Jung and Choi Ga Eul pretended to go on a date.

Jan Di was very worried because Ee Jung is the player of all players. In addition to what Won Bin has said about Ee Jung's '5 sec kill', she got more worried and started to think negatively.

This is the more fun part.

There is a part which is quite confusing. That is, Ji Hoo's parents who passed away during the accident. Ji Hoo has mentioned in the earlier episode that he killed his parents due his playfulness and hence his grandpa left the house. But this episode when Ji Hoo's grandpa said that he killed Ji Hoo's parents. Very Confusing,huh?

Hope that this part of the mystery can be solved.

Totoro Screencaps Scene 2 - Bus Stop

2009-02-26T08:34:00.003+08:00

This is my fav scene

The two sisters waiting for father at the bus stop

Suddenly the big sister peeked umder the umbrealla and saw something scratching

Actually it was totoro

She gave the totoro an umbrella which was supposed to give to her father because of the rain.

The sound of the opening of the umbrella stunned totoro

He tried to figure out what is that for

Finally, the totoro understood and put the umbrella over his head

Meanwhile, when they were waiting for the bus. A raindrop falls onto totoro's umbrella.

A series of reactions which was very funny and cute

Another raindrop falls again and this time totoro became more excited

He jumped...

... and a downpour came

Finally, a bus came...

It was the bus the totoro is waiting for

Before he leaves, he passed something to the sisters, which was seeds actually

Boys Over Flowers Episode 15

2009-02-25T22:34:00.003+08:00

Juz finish watching this episode. The story continues from the holiday at macau and the funny thing at macau is when Geum Jan Di went to the toilet without locking the door. In the end, Ji Hoo enters the toilet and saw her. He calmly say she did not lock the door and helped her close the door again. Of course, her next reaction is screaming and crying.

The Japanese version is more funny compared to the korean one. The japanese is more exaggerating because of the way they shoot the scene.

The other funny happened after Jun Pyo's birthday party. He actually wanted to grab Jan Di's hand. But instead he grab jae kyung's. In the japanese version, the same thing happens but in a funnier way.

Now I am still waiting for the next episode to be finished subbing. The story started to get a bit slower. I guess the episode 17 is the one when Ee Jung's first love comes in.

All the F4 change their haistyles except for Goo jun Pyo, always very curly.

Totoro Screencaps Scene 1

2009-02-23T11:40:00.008+08:00

A pair of ears showing up

A small totoro walking pass her, thinking that she can't see him

She chased after him.

At first, the totoro did not realized she is following him.

The totoro look at himself

And make himself invisible again

He finally realized he was being followed.

He went to the underneath of the house

While she is waiting, the blue totoro and the white one left from another exit.

While the two of them trying to leave quietly,

The seeds came out from the bag the blue totoro carries.

This attract the little girl's attention and she chased after them

And she bang into the bushes

She peeked under and saw a tunnel which that allow the two totoro to escape.

Finally the totoro stop running, and check whether the little girl did catch up with them or not.

She catch up with them...
And they panicked...

She chased them and came to area where she lost sign of the totoro

She accidentally fell into a hole...

And landed...

She was outside a cave... a cave with a big and greyish totoro

She tug the totoro's tail...

And grabbed it.

The big totoro flipped...

and flipped over his body.

He opened his eyes...

and closed again.

The little girl tickled his nose...

and he sneezed.

The totoro open his mouth and yawn

and she followed the same thing as well

which surprise him.
He stared at her surprisingly.

Meanwhile the other two were hiding in a pot and observe the situation.

Totoro and the little girl were finally too tired and fall asleep again.

Da Vinci Code

2009-02-22T20:18:00.004+08:00

Just finish watching two movies for today. The first one i will post later or tomorrow.

Da Vinci code movie is quite overall if you are a person who enjoy those puzzles and codings like that. As long as you enjoy the process of solving the questions and the treasure hunt, you will like the movie.

I have read the book two years ago. It is consider very exciting because the way the author written and describe attracts people's attention, including mine. So I finally decided to watch the movie to see how the movie is going to narrate the story.

But honestly speaking, I still prefer the book than the movie as the book tells me more than the movie. Although the movie eeplain a lot of things clearer as compared to the book, but the book gives me more details and more interesting.

So I would say that the movie is quite okay and it does give some excitement during the process of hunting the treasure or rather the grail, as what the movie and the book mentioned.

Some of the parts I think the movie has left out. Like the part about Sophie's brother who is supposed to survive.

That is how movie is like when they tried to show more resemblance to the book, trying to preserve the originality of the book. But there is always some differences in it.

Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang

2009-02-22T10:50:00.004+08:00

Juz finish watch this drama on Friday night. My sis and I watch until 12am.
A very nice drama to watch.
Starting there is this scene that has no link to the drama at all. Also, every time when an episode ended, there is this is this ancient scene which has no link at all but yet it is always so funny.

It is worth to watch. Every single episode is so funny. There is a total of 17 episodes.

I always like the part on how Mong Ryung and Choon Hyang quarrel with each other. And there is this particular scene that Mong Ryong rammed his car into Choon Hyang's car door. That was a funny episode which is at the second last episode.
